A grand jury in New Mexico indicted Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin Friday on an involuntary manslaughter charge related to the unintentional shooting of a woman on the movie set of “Rust.”

The grand jury issued the indictment nearly one year after the initial charges brought against him were dropped, according to The New York Times. He had initially been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter related to the death of 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in Oct. 2021.

 

The indictment charges the actor with two separate counts of involuntary manslaughter, though he can only be convicted of one, the Times reported. The felony charge alleges he had a “total disregard or indifference for the safety of others,” and the other accuses him of negligent use of a firearm.

Baldwin could face 18 months in prison if convicted of the new charge, according to The New York Times.
